This show was a point of contention between the males and the females of our friend group. The women seemed to enjoy it, the men seemed to be less impressed.
I loved the Violent Femmes at this point in my life. I mean, I still like them now but then it was a whole different level. My BBS handle was Violent Femme. My white cassette tape was basically worn out. I love love loved them so when the opportunity to see them AND visit Michael at college arose I was super excited. MSU Auditorium isn't the most intimate of venues to say the least. I don't remember having seats but the ticket seems to tell me otherwise.
My brother and I got into a giant argument about the quality of the performance. I probably didn't know what I was talking about, he was most likely right and they put on a crap show, but in my mind it was the Violent Femmes and therefore it was great. This was the first of many occasions where we argued about a band's performance. I've since learned that it is possible to agree to disagree but at 15 there was no convincing me that this show didn't rule.
